Guys, I forgot what's the taobao search term for buckling spring. Any non-banana can help with this?

You mean this?
Link here, http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r....ucket=16#detail
And also, this link, http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r....ucket=16#detail

Keyword should be 机械键盘弹簧 or 轴弹簧

Buckling spring as in IBM buckling spring keyboards, not the damn springs for MX Cherry...

Try this, http://s.taobao.com/search?q=ibm%E5%BC%B9%...0150425&ie=utf8

Buckling Spring = 屈蹲弹簧
You can try search for the chinese keyword for it in Taobao...

Okay..thanks for the info... rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif
But I still think Blues is nice thumbup.gif  Haha

Yea, for me, Blue is still the best. The satisfying clicky sound and the tactile feedback.

For fastest response speed, I guess, it's still Red. It's due it has lower actuation point and linear feedback(softer and easily register each press without needing to press each button to the end completely).

Yea, i just watched a video of someone reviewing the keyboard. First time i found out that there's variable weight in a keyboard. More keyboard science to learn. tongue.gif

Still, I don't really understand why he chose to use a keyboard with variable weights for gaming. Consistency is one of the highest requirement imo,for gaming.

Btw guys, I noticed that when I type on the keyboard. Sometimes there will be duplicated characters coming out. It happens randomly and occasionally. I'm not sure whether it's because of faulty switches or because of my own way of typing which causes it to double press without me knowing.

Anyway,it is not restricted to a certain key. When it happens, I will try to check that particular key and tried pressing on it a few times to see whether it happens again but sadly I wasn't able to reproduce the double character output no matter how slow/fast I click or tap or double tap( double tap will have 2 characters, no additional characters ). So I kinda feel like it's not a problem with the switches.

What keyboard you're using?

Last time, my Razer BWU Chroma got this problem too.
Based on what I've researched, it says it's due to some residues in the switches.
Cleaning them properly and add grease/lube should fix the problem. smile.gif

if it's just to clear the switch inside, you don't really have to take the switch out.
one of the way you can try is to remove the keycaps of that affected switch, press down the switch until you see enough opening for you to spray some high pressured air inside or something similar.

if this doesn't work, then only resort to changing the switch.

Are your cable works done yet, master?
Me need to buy lehhhh...

QUOTE(ck.chunkeat @ Apr 26 2015, 07:32 PM)
yea, some mentioned about cleaning the switch will solve it. I'm using a Ducky g2pro. I think this thing has been sitting on the shelf for quite some time. >.<

Guess I'll just live with it if it's not too consistent. Don't really have time to solder, take out the switch, clean it and put it back.  sweat.gif
*
I don't need you need to desolder the switches completely.
Just open up the top housings of the switches, blow out the dust and also add grease to the springs. Some said clean with alcohol. smile.gif

But I thought opening the housing of the switches requires desoldering the switch first?

Just imagine this, but the bottom housing is still soldered to the PCB.

Hmm,  hmm.gif .
Guess I would have to try that out for myself. I don't know how does a metal plate resonance sound sounds like.  biggrin.gif

Or maybe there is a difference between acrylic plate and metal plate. Anyway, I don't even know whether my current keyboard uses a metal plate or a plastic plate.  sweat.gif
*
A simple test is, Filco MJ2 vs Ducky Shine 3/4.
Filco MJ2 is using a metal plate while Ducky is using a metal plate too but lighter(got mixed with other materials to reduce cost I think).
The Filco MJ2 sounds much louder(Pak pak pak) when the keys are bottoming out compared to Ducky Shine 3/4(puff puff puff).

yea, I think it is up to individual in the end. Everyone have their preference.
I just searched a few threads on GH and those who like PCB mount generally prefers the not so solid or natural feel. They can't really explain it but after testing the same switches on a poker 2 and a filco. The ones who like pcb mount can't go back to filco, so they say. The flex makes it a very nice experience for them. But I worry about the solder joints though. As solder joints generally don't like flex.

Guess I'll most probably be saving up funds and get the parts without the plate first. If I happen to not like the pcb moutn feel and decide to have the plate for stability later on, I will just have to resolder the switches and buy the plate.

Go Taobao and grab yourself a plate, RM 30-60 should able to do it already.

My Rapid-i experience :

Bought in mid December
Early January, 1 dead LED
By end of January 3, dead LED + sent to RMA.
Mid March, finally got the replacement
Almost end of April, 2 dead LED.

Still waiting CM rep to reply my PM...

I think you'll need a brand new CM Storm Rapid-i to solve your problem.
I think it's the old circuit problem that produce the LED dying streak.

The replacement is a different unit though. Different serial number. It's not just repaired unit.

But according to the serial number, both unit manufactured on the same week : 1425 = year 2014 week 25th

Recommend you to RMA it, then when it comes back from RMA.
Sell it as 2nd-hand.
Buy other MKB... Maybe non-LED MKB this time.

CM Storm QFR-i.

But not recommended for typist get LED keyboard because you will never use it. Get a table lamp instead.
Just my own opinion.  smile.gif

Don't forgot CM Storm QFR-i = LED Dying King. tongue.gif

Especially, if it comes with a theme. Like Dolch.

If you wish for dedicated arrow keys, then go for Filco.
You need press FN+ certain keys to get arrow keys in HHKB. You may go for Realforce 23U for the dedicated arrow keys.
Well, for those use VIM, they don't use cursor.
Else, just get used to the HHKB layout...

As I am a DIY guy, the assembly and soldering work absolutely not a problem for me.

The only I thing that I concern about is getting the right part and the right design I want to have.  For instance, which switches and key caps that I should get.

By the way, anyone with me : https://www.massdrop.com/buy/holyoops-alumi...mode=guest_open

You never know Xiaomi. XD
And, it can be served as part of MKB Collection.
Moreover, it maybe compatible with Cherry MX Switches and also Gateron Switches. So, we can take out it's stock switches and replace them with awesome switches we want. smile.gif
